REA Cobb
Is the picture off? Seems to have almost no border L/R?

Compared to other American Beauty backs? The packs were thinner than normal T206 cigarette packs, so the cards were also cut narrower. You only have a single post, so I don't know how familiar you are with the set.
http://www.oldcardboard.com/t/t206/I...al-edition.pdf Page 13: "Manufacturing tolerances make exacting specification of a “standard” size for a T206 card difficult. A typical size is roughly 1 7/16” x 2 5/8”. T206 specimens exhibiting the American Beauty reverse are an exception. They were cut thinner to enable them to fit within narrower American Beauty cigarette packs."

I have quite a few more posts than the OP and had no idea either. I would have thought the same thing if I had noticed that listing.

Is it normal that they are cut so thin that the back border doesn't even fit on the card? I honestly never noticed if they are as I'm not really into the back too much.

The theory that all American Beauty packaging was narrower has come up to debate in recent years. Here is an American Beauty card that makes you wonder how it could fit in a narrow package, as it is normal T206 width.
